i just took my first class, and i'm hooked! learned and worked on the dive, the shoulder roll, the back fist and shelving to deal with kicks. Great class, great instructor, looking forward to learning the art!
Kajukenbo is da base and our spirit and creative juice is the element that makes this art worthy of study. I was born in Honolulu and went to Palama Settlement in the 50s. I am grateful for the free medical care it provided families who were struggling financially. I have deep respect for this art. In 73-79, I lived in Kauai and attended several classes that were taught in a gym in Koloa. 🙏🏽
As an amateur boxer and amateur mma guy I totally approve kajukenbo and Filipino martial arts all across the board. I think it’s top tier on self defense in the street.
@@ayalewdessieabebe @Sammy You're both correct. FMA is great for combatives and street fighting. It also teaches a flexible and dangerous mindset great for self preservation. Kung fu on the other hand is for someone who can already fight. It is used to direct the "hard work" necessary to forge the attributes and skills that will evolve the already developed fighting skills into something truly incredible. As your kung fu transforms your body and mind body connection your techniques evolve into skills and then you become formless.
I too was an amateur boxer and it looks good but I question its effectiveness because as in most martial art demonstrations..the attacker in the demo always leaves their hand and arm out for the leader to execute the technique..this never happens in real life street fight and never happened in the ring
great video on the origins of your system. Anyone can just have no skill and kick and punch and beat someone to a pulp but to learn discipline, self control, patience and perseverance many years. The people and instructors in this video have obviously been diligently working extremely hard to show this level of skill and talent. Way to go guys!!!
I had my first degree black belt from this martial arts system it took me ten years to get my black belt but it's worth it it's a very effective system
I trained under Tony Ramos school for several years. Not in the best shape now, but I can still do a decent snap kick to nuts, stomach & chin. Lots of practical techniques for the street if done with dedication.
they have way different techniques ... I started with Shotokan in 1977 ... but then I moved in 1980 and found a Kajukenbo studio ... you basically have to start over
As an experiment, I always wanted to see someone with that great Shotokan base... Learn Kenpo in addition to their Art. I also thought the traditional Karate guys had amazing basics... And I'd love to see the Kenpo techniques added to somebody with that foundation. Their nice strong low stances and their terrific use of hip.
I am doing kajukenbo under my great uncle grand master Wayne. He has been training young fighters for years and has had many great fighters come and go. We do many different styles. Lately since development of the styles,we have been doing weapon styles as well as self-defense on the streets. I plan on taking this incredible knowledge to the big lights of the ufc, so I can make my uncle proud by proving to the world that this almost forgotten fight style, can be the most deadly. In my grand masters words, “KENBO BOW!”💪🏽
Kajukenbo is a very good street art. I study and teach American Kenpo which is also very good, but did lack ground defense, which I have added over the years. Can't go wrong with any one of these.
What makes them masters of self defense? It's a bold statement. Certainly almost any training can work against an untrained person, but can the techniques in the video work against a boxer or college wrestler, bjj player?
This is one of my favorite styles. I was set apart of my class because I was very different from everyone and used what I liked and best fit me most. I discarded all groin kicks and pops. But had a more brutal approach than most people in my class. It was the upmost fun. Especially when I'd spar against our master.
Why not use groin strikes. Most effective strike. Most 90% like to target the face but worst target. Hrad can move up and down, side to side, and back and forth. Closest to the waist is center of gravity and your balance, the groin doesn't move much and so easiest target. Next would be Solar plexus. No rules in the street. Target the eyes, throat, solar, and groin. Pull hair, scratch, spit in eyes and whatever gives you the advantage.If a person can't see, breathe, or stand then they can't fight. This is KAJUKENBO!
You know a martial art is serious when one of its finest grandmasters makes the statement-"Training is not over until I see blood on the floor"(late great grandmaster Emperado). A well trained Kajukenbo stylist is NOT someone to be taken lightly.
Trained under Master “woody”Sims in Vallejo. He was no joke and would often have us train with knives and bats. I made purple belt and still remember most of what he taught me. But I took Aikido years later and was able to incorporate much of it into my fighting style be it a little friendlier😁
Classes really did sometimes end with blood, a few tears, and sometimes even vomit on the floor, too. It wasn’t intended for students who want to just “look good” doing tricks and kata’s. When we first opened the dojo, many potential students from different schools showed up and watched as our upper belts sparred, & later on the instructors sparred each other. A few of them even came back…
I think you have this upside down. Kajukenbo is the parent art of Ed Parker's Kenpo, Ralph Castro's, and the East Coast lineage of Pesare, Cerio, and Villari.
@@RecoveringGeniusyou are wrong Adrian emperado and Ed Parker trained under William chow at the same time in Hawaii, Ed Parker went on to create American kenpo and Adrian emperado started kajukenbo along with the others
I loved Kenpo during my days. The dojo I studied at, American Karate Studio, here in Phoenix, actually taught a combo of Kenpo, Taekwondo, and Shotokan, mixing the best of all of them. Kajukenbo looks like even more with holds and pressures.
As someone who has studied many styles and techniques since the age of 8 i have begun developing a system that takes the philosophies of every martial art that is known to me and I am always searching for more knowledge on self defense, combat sports and artistic expression i am teaching what I have named black dragon martial arts due to the combination of styles and the nature of the color black being all colors combined and the dragon in chinese lore being a mixture of animals. I cater the teacher for the skill and movement of the student as well as thier individual goals for the knowledge they gain it is very encouraging to see that others have been successful with similar ideas
I love the idea of letting the student to develope their own fighting style. I might try this martial art in the future, now just focusing on wing chun & aikido.
Hisoka Morrow both Aikido and WT works fine against non-trained fighters. If the dude wants to learn something legit against trained fighters I’m sure he will someday. That’s why I went from Ninjutsu to BJJ.
I'm a martial artist myself, this is awesome, a combination of karate Judo Jujitsu Kempo and boxing wow amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥋🥋☯️
Seems pretty effective. bruce lee done the same thing with jeet kune do not wanting you to follow a set pattern but to discard what you didn't want and add your own. Bruce Lee said absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is specifically your own
If it was more effective why didn't he leave wing chun and just learn boxing. it's because there is no superior art it's the man behind the art and bruce lee discovered that there was effective things in both boxing and wing chun but he also took from taekwondo, fencing and judo it's not just boxing and wing chun but the base of jeet kune do is wing chun
Bruce Lee kajukenbo sure has bruce lee idea of discarding the useless and adding the useful. But it also doesn't has the same idea as bruce lee since he prefer having one technique but done 1000 times rather than 1000 techniques done once. I ever read a comment from kajukenbo discipline itself that they are confused of so many technique to learn. Bruce lee sure studied many martial art, but he then compressed it to few technique.
@@tavtav3526 Jeet Kune Do was established in 1967. Kaju Kenbo was founded 20 years prior; but has Bruce Lee's idea of discarding the useless and retaining the useful parts of martial arts? That seems a little backwards. Not only that by Bruce Lee trained with Charles Gaylord and Tony Ramos in, I believe it was, Oakland California in the late 60s. As for those who comment that they are confused by the numerous techniques are probably confused by the criteria required to rank up. The actual techniques and the art forms it is based on are thoroughly taught and explained so they can be executed in the best technical way possible; whether competition wise or defense wise.
Made luv for our Kajukenbo on the west coast. On the east coast we have KENPO which is the same as they teach on West coast. Been a student & teacher of Kenpo for over 20 years. Luv the art🥋
Kajukenbo is a very realistic Street fighting defense. Most of there punches come from traditional boxing. Low leg kicks , and Judo / jujitsu for ground fighting.
I have a background in Jeet Kune Do and a lot of this looks very familiar to me. The only difference I can see is that Kajukenbo is rooted in Japanese arts and JKD is rooted in Chinese.
This is similar to what I practice. There is always the “silat” problem with knives and sticks (they are very fast and quite deadly). However, merging everything is the only way to be complete.
I practice Krav Maga (FEKM) and your martial art looks very good, some technics are quite the same. With weapons, Krav maga seems more efficient because we catch the arm with the weapon and grab it. In your demos, the attacker drop the weapon because it's a demo.
Kajukenbo is also taught to Israeli Special forces but hardly mentioned. XFiances son in Israeli is learning Kajukenbo there. Also taught to U.S. Special Forces and Kuwait Special Forces. Few Kuwait Special Forces video in here doing Kajukenbo.
I practice kapap and kali, i see it very similar to kali :) but perhaps more fluid and with of course a lot of influence of japanese martial arts. Is curious i also see some kung fu on it. I think its beautiful, but here in my country is not very popular (argentina). Hope some day i could practice and learn this beautiful mix of tradicional martial arts.
The Kungfu is the Kenpo it KA - KARATE JU - JUDO KEN - KENPO BO - BOXING Kenpo is a hybrid style also of Karate, jujitsu, and many forms of kungfu. I believe the boxing aspect of Kajukenbo is the kungfu Aka Chinese boxing.
The history shows that the BO part of the name is actually intended to be from *western boxing*. Later on in one branch of kajukenbo, kickboxing ideas were also put in that branch of the system. Chin na , chinese grappling/locks were put in the original version of kajukenbo, [but Emperado put more Gung fu in his system from 1959 *(Wikipaedia)]
As someone who practiced Kajukenbo a long time ago, the Bo in the name refers to chinese boxing (Kung Fu). So yes kung fu is a very important aspect of Kajukenbo though i would say it is really "heavy " on kenpo. At least my variation was.
@@soulmage9 Is not Kenpo really Called Shorinji Kenpo? Does that Not have Shaolin Kung Fu and Uechi Ryu Karate? I also Thought that Kajukenbo has many Styles of Kali Eskrima mixed into it as well?
Most of the weapons techniques come from Kara-Ho Kenpo which was the primary basis for this system,three of the five co-founders had trained in it. William Chow, the founder of Kara-Ho had trained in Chinese, Okinawan and Filipino systems, as well as Western boxing, wrestling, judo and lua. From his exposure to theses different systems, he choose, I think 18 different weapons to include in his curriculum. Ka-karate (Tang Soo Do), Ju-judo & jujutsu ( Danzan Ryu ), Ken- kenpo ( Kara-Ho), Bo- boxing ( Western and Chinese, more precisely Sil Lum Pai). You could also include Eskrima since Emperado had trained in Eskrima. An interesting side note, four of the co-founders of Kajukenbo had been amateur boxers.
I am interested in Kajukenbo but all I ever see in the demonstrations are Kenpo-like techniques. I would like to see some examples of the jujitsu, judo, boxing and karate(other than Kenpo)used in the system.
I think unreal defence against knife attack so smoothly and practical, what you show on presentation. I would say I've never seen before who can defence themself in real life, everyone were injured, if you know and saw anyone, send me a link. Thanks.
No Kenpo was one of the foundational styles with the original founders. One of the founders was a Kenpo expert and brought a lot of those techniques that are still used today.
Nice techniques. but attacker throws combos & opponent doesn’t defend themselves how affective can it be for conditioning or fighting That being said it looks like a great art
It is kinda bs, having said that chuck liddell is an 8th degree in this style so it couldn’t be that bad but definitely muay thai would be more practical
In practice, more of a composite system than a particular art, The video didn't show much of the ju aspects: ju do, ju jitsu, takedown defence, etc. What happens when the fight goes to the ground? especially with the aggressor on top?
You know you have been in a Kajukenbo class when you look in the mirror and it looks like you spent the day trying to catch golf balls at the driving range. They hit EVERYTHING. Or as my teacher said "Tenderizing". After a few shots to the bicep your arm starts to protest against your body. "I'm not going back out there. Send somebody else."
I like the fact that its an ever evolving martial art. And that the students can develop and impliment techniques to
take the their skills even further.
Yeah, kajukenbo is so Bruce "Lee-an" cause it's so flexible and can be modified according to one's needs.
This is the idea
i just took my first class, and i'm hooked! learned and worked on the dive, the shoulder roll, the back fist and shelving to deal with kicks. Great class, great instructor, looking forward to learning the art!

LoL
Cant win if no mo offense. Every block, defense, is followed with cracks.
Mix in som Krava Maga moves for offensives and it's a devastating art form.
This is an "Offensive" art. We learn to attack, attack and attack.

I think unreal defence against knife attack so smoothly and practical, what you show on presentation. I would say I've never seen before who can defence themself in real life, everyone were injured, if you know and saw anyone, send me a link. Thanks.
Very nice.
Looks cool..
did kenpo come after kajukenbo?
No Kenpo was one of the foundational styles with the original founders. One of the founders was a Kenpo expert and brought a lot of those techniques that are still used today.
Nice techniques. but attacker throws combos & opponent doesn’t defend themselves how affective can it be for conditioning or fighting That being said it looks like a great art
It is kinda bs, having said that chuck liddell is an 8th degree in this style so it couldn’t be that bad but definitely muay thai would be more practical
In practice, more of a composite system than a particular art, The video didn't show much of the ju aspects: ju do, ju jitsu, takedown defence, etc. What happens when the fight goes to the ground? especially with the aggressor on top?
Makinja well,I did practice a couple months in kajukempo and they do spar with throws,but no ground fighting in my experience.
You know you have been in a Kajukenbo class when you look in the mirror and it looks like you spent the day trying to catch golf balls at the driving range. They hit EVERYTHING. Or as my teacher said "Tenderizing". After a few shots to the bicep your arm starts to protest against your body. "I'm not going back out there. Send somebody else."
I picked it up in Hawaii in the 80's
great video on a great art
Could you do a video on Kenpo please
Is their any place in India where one can learn this martial art?
Great video!
The kenpo stands out more than any other martial art that has mixed as 85% kenpo and the rest the other arts that were for its creation
Amazing Video .. Thanks My Friend♥.. Itś Devastating Martial Art .. BE WATER MY FRIEND
Jimmy smith (mma fighter and host of fight quest) had an interesting perspective on this style. He talks about it in his fight quest stories podcast.
